1 Reading of the Reconciliation Statement and Affirmation Statement

Good evening and welcome to the City of Stonnington Council Meeting of Monday 7 December 2020. I’m Councillor Kate Hely, Mayor of the City of Stonnington These meetings are an important way to ensure that the democratically elected Councillors, work for the community in a fair and transparent manner.

We are committed to doing whatever we can to protect the health and wellbeing of our community, staff and visitors. Due to the unprecedented circumstances arising from the current State of Emergency and State of Disaster due to COVID-19, and on the advice of health experts, we have made the difficult, buy necessary decision, to temporarily change the way we run our Council Meeting this evening. Whilst we have undertaken extensive planning for this virtual on-line meeting, there always remains the risk of technical issues arising beyond our control. If we experience a technical issue tonight, we will adjourn the meeting for a short time to try and resolve the issue. If the issue cannot be resolved and the meeting cannot continue, then we will adjourn to a later date, and details of the future meeting will be made available via our website as soon as possible. We are working to keep our community safe during the COVID-19 outbreak and are closely monitoring the situation. In accordance with the Local Government Act, Councillors must formally declare any conflicts of interest in relation to any items listed on the Agenda at the start of the meeting, and immediately prior to the item being considered.

8 Questions to Council Officers from Councillors

Cr Sehr asked a question regarding vehicles speeding in St Edmands Road Prahran and various issues related to this area of the design of the road. The Director Environment & Infrastructure responded that he would take the question on notice. Cr Griffin asked a question asking for an update on centre tree planting in Wallace Avenue Toorak as she had tabled the petition on this matter over a year ago. The Director Environment & Infrastructure noted that a petition had been received on this issue which was similar to an issue in Washington Street some months back. It had been decided that traffic devices were not required. Tree planting will be assessed with options for planting in in the next planting season in Autumn. Cr Griffin asked for a a report on how we can keep our streets clear of dumped cars and other vehicles, do we need a new local law or how can we achieve this? The Director Environment & Infrastructure noted that if a vehicle is registered and legally parked and not causing and obstruction then there is little that Council can do but would provide a report to a future Council Briefing Session for information on the current legislation and options. Cr Lew asked a question On 20 September 2020 the Council deferred the signing of a contract for resurfacing of the tennis courts at Orrong Romanis. The report was deferred so that council officers could produce a report on the potential that these Courts could be turned into multipurpose courts. What is the status of this report? The Director Environment & Infrastructure noted that a report had been developed by consultants and would be available early in 2021. Cr Lew asked The Prahran Netball Association has been lobbying Council since 2013 for Council to add an additional indoor Court at their existing facility at Orrong Romanis. I am advised by some members of the Prahran Netball Association that this was their first preference for expansion and that Council Officers and Councillors advised them that this option would not be supported because of the cost involved in this project. Did Council ever commission a feasibility study as a result of a request by the Prahran Netball Association to have an additional Court built at Orrong Romanis? Was the outcome of this feasibility study ever made public? The Director Environment & Infrastructure noted a report had been comminssed in 2013 and Orrong Romanis had more recently been considered as one of the 51 locations as part of a more substantive site analysis. Cr Lew asked The report before Council tonight indicates that there is still soil testing to be done on the bowling green at Percy Treyvaud before construction can start. What is the purpose of the soil testing? What are the implications of the results of the soil testing for the Percy Treyvaud project?

Ordinary Council Meeting 7 December 2020 - Minutes

9 of 33

The Director Environment & Infrastructure noted that soil tested was standard practice and in this case some additional testing was required and this was unlikely to cause delays. Cr Lew asked the Chief Executive Officer a question regarding a recent posting on Youtube of a video which contained offensive elements and a follow up question relating to the Council Prahran Square promotional video as to who had access to this Council file.

The Chief Executive Officer took the question on notice.

Cr Koce asked the Environment & Infrastructre for an update on the Harold Holt Swim Centre and whether it would be up and operation for the summer holidays? The Director Environment & Infrastructure noted that 18 December is the completion date and was on schedule. Works will be undertaken on the dive tower and pool during the 2021 winter season following heritage approval.

Cr Scott asked a question to the Director Covid Response regarding how are local traders responding to the extended footpath trading operations.

The Director Covid Response noted that Council still had two applications pending review. Beatty Avenue and Greville Street were great examples of how the scheme was currently operating.
